The Wolves is a 2016 play by Sarah DeLappe. It premiered at the The Duke at 42nd Street, in September 2016 and centers on the experiences of high school girls through their daily afternoon soccer warmups.

Synopsis

Left quad. Right quad. Lunge. A girls indoor soccer team warms up. From the safety of their suburban stretch circle, the team navigates big questions and wages tiny battles with all the vim and vigor of a pack of adolescent warriors. A portrait of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for nine American girls who just want to score some goals.

Production history

The play was originally produced in 2016 at The Duke on 42nd Street by The Playwrights Realm in association with New York Stage & Film and Vassar’s Powerhouse Theatre season. It subsequently returned to the Off-Broadway venue with additional support from commercial producers Scott Rudin and Eli Bush. The production is scheduled to transfer to Lincoln Center Theater’s Mitzi Newhouse Theater in November 2017, with an official opening set for November 20.
